What computer games do you guys play? I was thinking of getting one to burn some time. What are the best ones?
If you want to burn a lot of time, I hear World of Warcraft you can spend a lot of hours. Shooters: (but I don't know if there are new better shooters out, they are like a 3-5 years old) Counterstrike (I think Half-life 2 is out now, so maybe Counterstrike 2) Metals of honour? (not sure if that is right, its the WWI game) As well, some people like the Sims a lot. From another thread the guys were saying something called Football manager? I'd recommend Starcraft lol.
I used to play Starcraft when I was a lot younger. It was pretty fun but can be pretty addicting. My brother plays Warcraft and I just don't see what the obsession over it is. He will sit there for hours and stuff and it's like he's wasting his life sitting in front of a computer screen. Rather than controlling all of those elves and pixies' lives he needs to do something with his own life.
I used to play Myst back in the day, but they've discontinued the series now. I don't play anything else anymore though.
F.E.A.R is an excellent first shooter game. It has a creepy story, and the AI is actually smart. Read about it here http://www.gamerevolution.com/review/pc/fear
I used to play Age of Empires like crazy back in the day. After the 2nd one though, they revamped the graphics and I was too lazy to upgrade my comp.
Games that I have played since about the time I got my computer, and are still as good: Baldurs Gate Baldurs Gate II Icewind Dale Icewind Dale II Planescape: Torment (perhaps the best game ever) Fallout Fallout 2 (second to Ps:T) Other really good games: Age of Empires II (with expansion) Vampires the Masquerade: Bloodlines Games I'm playing right now: CSS Medieval: Total War 2 (I don't play it that much, but I like the TW games)
Bahir, CSS is counter-strike Source? I think I might get that one. What are your opinions on the game?
I've been playing Starcraft since I was like 10. Highly addictive, and very fun to play with other people. That's pretty much the only computer game I play LOL!
<div class="quote_poster">Skillz Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">Bahir, CSS is counter-strike Source? I think I might get that one. What are your opinions on the game?</div> Yep. I think it's pretty good, and I don't even like first person shooter games that much. I've never been a CS fan, but source is quite good because it has good graphics, and, the best part is that there are mods for the game. There are RPG mods where you can gain levels and abilities, there are deathmatch mods with instant respawning and weapon selection (instead of having to buy them), special maps and much more. It's a good game.
I've played Counter-Strike, Starcraft, Age of Empires in my day... not anymore though. I have Warcraft III too but never got into it.

<div class="quote_poster">I-Miss-MJ Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">I am much the same, I like using a controller instead of keyboard/mouse</div> Yeah thats what I hate about them, its so hard to control.
update: I bought CSS but know I find out my computer doesnt have enough memory space so I have to buy more.
I have a pretty sweet computer by I only play warcraft 3 ROC. Don't confuse with World of Warcraft, thats for nerds. Warcraft 3 is a stradegy game alla Age of Empires.
since we are on the topic can anyone tell me what games would be good for use on a laptop? Using the touchpad and laptop keyboard
